Tofu is torn into jagged bite-size pieces, coated in a sweet-savory miso marinade, then broiled until its edges are crisp and browned while the centers stay custardy. Serve with rice and vegetables or over salad greens.

Ingredients

2 blocks extra-firm tofu (each block; sliced lengthwise 1-inch-thick)
2 tbsp brown sugar (light or dark)
2 tbsp white miso paste
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp vegetable oil
0.25 tsp ground cayenne

Steps

1
Arrange the tofu slices on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Cover with another towel, set a flat cutting board or sheet pan on top, and weigh it down with a few cans or a skillet. Let the tofu drain for 15 to 45 minutes.
2
In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, miso, soy sauce, rice vinegar, vegetable oil and cayenne until the marinade is smooth.
3
Tear the drained tofu into bite-size pieces, about 1 inch each, and add them to the marinade. Stir gently to coat. Cook right away, or cover and refrigerate to marinate for up to 24 hours.
4
When ready to cook, position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler to high. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
5
Remove the tofu from the marinade and arrange it on the prepared sheet pan. Reserve the marinade.
6
Broil for 10 to 15 minutes total, flipping the tofu occasionally with a spatula, until browned and crisp. Check periodically and rotate the pan and tofu as needed to account for broiler hot spots.
7
Drizzle the tofu with the reserved marinade before serving.

Notes

The source suggests serving with steamed rice and a green vegetable, or over salad greens. For a salad, it recommends making a double batch of marinade to dress the lettuces. Broil green beans or asparagus for 5 to 8 minutes if serving them alongside. The source gives a 15–45 minute draining range and an optional marinating period of up to 24 hours.
